Injecting too much testosterone

The commencement of a ‘modest’ drug testing trial for 5,000 new welfare recipients, whereby Newstart and Youth Allowance recipients who test positive to drugs will be placed on the Cashless Debit Card for their welfare payments, be subjected to further tests and possibly referral for treatment, is a recipe for increased marginalisation and presents a real risk of further unintended and negative consequences.
Charles Henderson, Acting EO of Harm Reduction Victoria states, “People who are unemployed and may have used drugs or battle co-morbid mental health and drug dependency conditions will experience barriers and limited options. This will do little to support job placement, but it will increase misery, marginalisation and disconnect people further.”
